The two-part mounting element consists of a cable tie and a tree-shaped stop element, assembled together and ready for use. The tree-shaped mounting element is simply inserted into a previously prepared hole, which may also be non-through. Several layers of lamellae ensure a very good, secure attachment. The head of the mounting element also has a small plate that partially prevents dirt and water from entering the hole. Originally designed for the automotive industry to mount wiring harnesses, this product's simplicity and quick installation has found applications in many industries from aviation, through switchgear assembly, to washing machine production.
